I think it's guaranteed to be 32-bit, but regardless, the current git 
headers already assume that "unsigned int" is 32-bit.

Which is a pretty safe assumption for at least the next ten years or so, 
possibly much longer. So I don't think we need to worry _too_ much about 
this. I think it's more important to try to get git working on Windows, 
than on 16-bit DOS or on a PDP-9, or one of the odd cray machines.
